DUI alleged in Salinas crash

Jaqueline Hall

A 35-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of driving under the influence following an accident in Salinas, police said.

At 7:18 p.m., police said, officers responded to a disturbance involving two motorists in a parking lot in the 800 block of North Main Street.

They said the two had been in a traffic accident. One of the drivers - identified as Jaqueline Hall - had possibly been driving under the influence of medication, police said.

According to the report, they said, Hall appeared to have traveled northbound on North Main Street near Casentini Street. She began to change lanes to enter the freeway, police said, as she neared the Highway 101 onramp. At the last minute, they said, Hall chose against changing lanes and overcorrected - sideswiping a Sal's Taxi cab in the No. 2 lane.

Both drivers pulled over, police said, and became involved in a disturbance which was later called in.

Hall was booked into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence, they said.
